Yoram Eliyahu understands the intricacies of
real estate. Successful real estate developments or simple residential
transactions depend on personal trust. The real estate business is very
personal, and people share similar outlooks with sympathetic agents.

A political activist, Yoram has been very active in Jewish causes. Although
known for major developments that include a beachfront hotel in Miami, Yoram
supports Israeli causes. Yoram also believes strongly in education, both
traditional and classic Hebrew.

The activist works tirelessly in his native Great Neck, New York, and
surrounding communities. The North Shore Hebrew Academy has served as a central
educational institution about Jewish history. The Academy opened in 1954 and
started a high school division for local youth in 2001.

The school opened to educate young Jews in Hebrew and other aspects of Jewish
life. The high school proved so successful that the directors commissioned
building a new wing. Yoram strongly favors Jewish education, so he donated a
Sefer Torah when the new wing opened.

The gift serves as one of the 12 scrolls that the Academy still uses. Yoram's
children attend the Academy, and the real estate activist continues to support
it. Yoram Eliyahu has supported many charitable organizations throughout his
adult life. Giving back to the Jewish community helps keep important traditions
alive in a technological age.

The
Jewish Outreach Organization Chabad

Chabad operates worldwide to provide activities for Jews through community
centers, schools, synagogues, and camps. The organization has ties with over
3,600 institutions in 1,000 different cities and 70 countries. Yoram first
encountered the organization while serving a three-year term in the Israeli
army. The organization provided special food and drink during holidays to boost
soldiers' morale.

Charity begins at home, but the community plays an important role, especially
in Jewish culture. Yoram actively encourages and supports the educational and
outreach programs of Chabad. The Kings Point Chabad serves Yoram and his
family, and they volunteer at Chabad of Flushing. The Flushing chapter sponsors
a food charity that Yoram actively supports. Yoram's family participates by
delivering food to needy families in New York.

Biography
of an Israeli Activist

Born in Kirat-Shmona, a small town in northern Israel, Yoram grew up in a
hard-working family. One of five children, Yoram learned family values and the
importance of honest labor. Family life followed Israeli traditions, and the
family patriarch worked in construction.

At age 14, Yoram attended Bezek High School where he studied electronics and
telecommunications. After graduation, Yoram studied for an additional two years
to gain a subengineering degree. Education completed, the Israeli student
joined the Army for his required three-year service.

Once the service to Israel had been completed, Yoram immigrated to America. Yoram Eliyahuhas worked in many trades, and his broad education
works well in real estate. Native of a small Israeli village in the mountains,
Yoram supports Jewish activism in many forms.

Yoram believes that philanthropy and charity should provide essential education
to preserve Jewish culture. Events in Yoram's life have influenced his
attitudes toward helping the community. Some important projects that Yoram
supports include the following:

· Project to feed the hungry.
· Helping rebuild hometown synagogue.

Help
to Rebuild Damaged Synagogue

A small synagogue in Yoram's hometown, Kirat-Shmona, received major damage
during Israel's war with Lebanon. Yoram felt obliged to help rebuild the facility
and help boost congregational morale. Yoram decided to donate a new Torah as a
special gesture. Torahs have special significance in Jewish culture and
religious practice.

Yoram researched the matter carefully to ensure the Torah met religious conditions.
A special writer called a sofer must handwrite the Torah on select parchment
paper. Yoram took responsibility to find a qualified writer to handle this
labor of love. The synagogue still uses the Torah that Yoram donated.

The Flushing chapter of Chabad sponsors the program, and Yoram contributes
financially and personally. The whole family participates in delivering food
door to door during the holidays. This kind of personal commitment helps
children learn how giving back helps people cope with adversity.

Real
Estate and Personal Trust

Real estate agents and developers often stress the importance of location for
successful investing in property. Working in Jewish communities, Yoram concentrates
on projects in Israel, New York, and Florida. The projects not only meet
favorable-location criteria but also promote the preservation of Jewish
culture.

Real estate investment invariably has ups and downs, but long-term appreciation
almost always occurs. When investments uphold personal beliefs, people get
tremendous satisfaction from investing in these worthy projects. Real estate
offers solid ways to build wealth, especially when investors trust their
partners.

Working with established professional developers offers many advantages.
Experienced real estate specialists understand market fluctuations and keep
inexperienced investors from making costly mistakes. Emotions often cause
people to lose money because they panic when the market becomes volatile. The
real estate meltdown serves to illustrate the point. Panic selling of mortgages
and investments aggravated the crisis, causing real estate values to plummet.

The foreclosures and resulting decreases in property values create great
opportunities for investors. Low interest rates offer even more incentives for
investing at this particular time. Investors who buy property to rent enjoy
higher rental rates driven by demand for suitable rentals.

Personal trust in property developers adds special incentives for making
commitments to real estate investing. Yoram has always demonstrated a
passionate faithfulness to Jewish culture and community charity. The current
investment climate offers astonishing benefits for choosing long-term real
estate for balanced portfolios.
